Gotta Push Thru

Left office @ 9 something last night. The carpark was pitch black. Luckily there were 2 seniors accompanying me to take my car.

Was practically stressed out and exhausted. I only had a 50 cents Gardenia bread for the whole day and yet I was not feeling hungry at all.

Went up to the car, started the engine, and Jaclyn Victor's Gemilang was on radio. I sang along and thought to myself, no matter how difficult it is, I gotta push thru. =)

It has been a long time...

since I last blogged.

It's pouring cats and dogs outside now.
The office seems pretty quiet this morning, probably due to the heavy traffic jam.

Working life is definitely not as easy as I thought.
My life now pretty much evolves between wake up, work, eat, bath & sleep. Nothing much.
I've heard so many stories about auditors working till late at night, even until dawn.
You will never know how exactly it feels until you really taste it. Haha...

The new house is very fun!
I did lots of cooking during weekends.
Although I have been shifted in for 3 weeks already, there are still plenty of boxes lying around the house which are yet to be unpacked. Lazy me!
TMNet pretty much sucks! They took 1 month to fix the telephone line for us and StreamyX is yet to be fixed.
Urghhh.. Life without internet is terrible!

Finally...

... all the papers are done!
It's time for packing, shifting and saying buh-bye to Cyberjaya. *sob sob*

Lots of friends are parting their way.
Some are going to graduate,
some are going to industrial training just like me. *wuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*
I am gonna miss them soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

The training this time will be pretty much the same like last time I worked as a Vacation Trainee.
... Same company
... Staying in the same area (10 mins from Midvalley.. Muahaha..)
... Same route from home to work
I guess the only differences are
... This time the training will be more serious, because it will be graded and a 100 pages of report is expected from me at the end of the training *cold sweats*
... Working in different department. Last time was corporate tax and now auditing
... 7 months now instead of 2 months as last time

Gonna go to the new house tonight for cleaning after Spidy has come back from work.
Now I must faster finish packing and prepare for the "big shift" tommorrow. Yay!!!!!
After that it's time to go back to Ipoh for a biiiiiiiiiig family HUG, and start working on next Monday.

Uh-Oh

Early in the morning, when you open your email and saw THIS. It reads "MICPA excellence awards for best accounting graduates 2006". You almost had a heart attack because you thought that you've won the award.

... Then you quickly click the link and saw THIS...

It says "you have been nominated to represent MMU....". Then you thought "ok.. at least being nominated is a good thing."

... Then you open the attachment that comes with the email...

And when u came across the first line u saw THIS "Completed the degree of Bachelor of Accountancy in 2006".

Ermmm.. but I am going to graduate in 2007 wor.

So, you called the person who sent you this email.
"Hello, it's MeiWah here. I received your email regarding the MICPA Awards this morning."
"Yaya.."
"I just want to confirm that if I only will be graduating on 2007, do I still need to hand up the form."
"No. It's only for students who are going to graduate in 2006."
"Ok. Thanks!"

....... CASE CLOSED .......

Things I Should Do During Exam Week

... Hmm
There is just one more paper left, too late to set this kind of goal right?
Haha..

~~Things That I Should Do During Exam Week~~ Things That I Did While Studying During Exam Week

- Watching TVB Series, Desperate Housewives, Apprentice, Survivor, and ANTM
- Browsing thru food blogs to search for recipes
- Playing games
- Reading blogs.. many many of them
- Flipping Ikea catalogue N times
- Daydreaming on how to deco the new house

... Hmm
I am just another person who can't sit still when studying.
I should just blame StreamyX for the speedy connection which enables me to finish downloading an episode of series in 1 hour. Lol..
Can't wait for the paper to finish on Friday @ 12.00pm. Most of my coursemates have declared "Merdeka!" today itself already. Ish ish...

My Beloved Ah Ma

It's gonna be Mother's Day this Sunday. I am going to dedicated this post to my ah ma. I seldom call my mum mummy, mommy, mum, mimmy, and etc. I prefer to call her ah ma.

My mum is a teacher in a all-boys school, Sam Tet. Ah ma is a very tough person, I feel as if nothing in this world can pull her down. When you see my mum, no doubt you will first get to notice her signature smile. She is such a cheerful person that every place that she is in will be filled with laughter.

My mum used to be very strict to me and my sister. Me and my sister being in an all-girls school rarely have a chance to make friend with guys, and my mum disallowed guys to call us at home. Haha.. I remembered my mum bit me hard after she discovered that I talked to a guy secretly on the phone. And due to this reason, I did not have any boyfriends when I was in secodary school. (I guess it's a good thing huh?) I also have a hard time telling her that I have a boyfriend (Spidy) already even though I am in university.

I feel that she is the main reason in making me a person who is keen on studies today. Being a teacher herself, she hopes that me and my sister will have a good results. She spent a great deal of time in teaching us, and when we reached secondary level where she is no longer familiar with the syllabus (my mum is a primary school teacher), she searched high and low for great tuition teachers for us. When I was about to get into university, I was puzzled on which university to go and which major to take. Thank god I have a mum who knows how to make the correct decision everytime without fail. And here I am today about to finish my degree in one year time, I am doing great in studies and loving every bits of my major. Nevetherless, I am proud to say that it is all my mum's guidance and efforts which enable me to achieve that today.

This is my favourite picture taken with ah ma so far. It was taken in Midvalley during Christmas season. She said she dislikes to come to KL cause it is always packed with lots of people.

Ah ma falls in love with japanese food after much influence from me and my sister. She will bring us to Sushi King whenever we are back in Ipoh.

Ah ma has played an important role is making me to have a strong faith in my religion. Behind her is a prayer that she has taught me. The picture was taken in China.

Have a fun time travelling around China with ah ma.

The picture was taken before I left home to come back to campus after CNY. Ah ma had thousand of naggings but I still feel warm inside my heart.

Ah ma is rather short compared to me and my sister. She looks very cute in this picture. Haha..

Ah ma.. it's time for you to have a good rest. Me and ah jie have grown up and we are able to take care ourselves. It is our turn to take care of you and ah ba. Just relax okie? Love ya so much. Muahhhhhh.... Happy Mother's Day !!!!!

... and so it begins ...

11 more days.
16th May 2006.
Finals !!!!!!!

Went to the last lecture today. Got the same naggings from all the lecturers.
"Just study as hard as possible, then confirm that you all can score. DON'T WORRY!!!"

"Sir, we are taking 5 subjects, not just 1."

The 5 subjects are:-
* Securities Investment and Portfolio Management (See the name so canggih also can estimate the toughness of the paper)
* Strategy (Skipped 50% of the classes)
* Advanced Taxation (Was confident in Taxation 1 and 2, but not this ADVANCED paper)
* Advanced Management Accounting (ADVANCED AGAIN ?!?!?!)
* Advanced Accounting Information System (*faint*)

This semester I have the least confidence in taking the finals. I do not have the slightness idea on what the subjects are all about. Haha.. Skipped so many classes throughout the whole semester. I know I know.. now only start to regret is too late already. Hey, I have valid reasons okie? I skipped classes for Career Fair, for countless interviews (actually 2 only) for getting a position for industrial training, and for studying for midterms (last minute hero). See? All are valid reasons. Muahahahah..

But.. but.. just look at how many ADVANCED are there in all the subjects. There are 3 out of 5 okie? Furthermore, the Securities Investment is also an advanced subject (I think), just that they did not put ADVANCED in it. Imagine, "Advanced Securities Investment and Portfolio Management". Hmm.. sounds weird. The problem with taking all this advanced subjects is the lecturers expect us to remember everything from paper 1 and 2 also. -_-||| Seriously, I have very short term memory. *scratch head* HOW NOW?

Don't worry. JOGOYA will come save the day. Muahahah... there will be an appreciation dinner for Career Fair Team next week (study week) on Monday. Yay!!! Can't wait to go.. After the dinner there will be a movie at Midvalley. *shake head* It's study week, I am supposed to sit at home and STUDY.

I should go back to study now.

Can You Feel The Pain?

Was watching a TVB series called "La Femme Desperado". Then there is this part talking about the company wants to organise a focus group to understand more on men's opinions on women's period. Most of them feel ignorant about it and feel ashamed for helping their girlfriends or wives to purchase sanitary pad. A guy even suggests that guys should try to make themselves have gastric to enable them to experience how women feel when having period pain. Maybe I should ask Spidy to try. Haha..

I dislike the week where I have to experience period. Usually period is definitely followed with period pain. It is not normal pain, it is excruciating type of pain. I can't move a single inch, but just to lie on my bed. I experience most pain on around the scar that was resulted from my appendix operation.

Ta-da! My scar. Haha.. Very ugly hor? Everytime when I wear low waist jeans that will expose the scar, people will stare at my scar when they pass by me. However, I am proud of my scar. I have fought a tough battle to recover, took around 2 months to get the wound closed.

The pain never gets any better even though my mum has provided me with countless of supplementaries, e.g., EPO, Pak Fong Yuan, and Bak Chan soup.

Everytime I also have to depend on painkillers. These pink colour pills are really my saviour. I try to control the consumption as I know it does not bring me any good in long term. There was once I even need to beg Spidy to let me eat, cause he refused to give me any after I have popped many inside my mouth. I sound like a drug addict. Hee..

When your girlfriend/wife has their "monthly aunty visits", a guy should:-
* be understanding and bear with all her tantrums.
* prepare her hot towels to put on her stomach.
* slightly put your hand on her stomach. (not logical, but it works for me! Haha.. )
* prepare her hot soup or drinks.

DON'T EVER SAY : "I won't understand your pain lar, just don't keep complaining ok?"
A big no-no for that. Though I think that gastric pain is way better than period pain, guys should try to make yourself have gastric and feel the pain. Haha..

Fried Egg Noodles

Since today is Labour Day, I decided to cook something for Spidy to eat for lunch instead of dragging him to go for another eating session in McD. It's nothing fancy, I am glad that he likes it.

The egg noodles that I used. Can be easily bought in Jusco or Carrefour. I like the "doink doink" feeling that the noodles give when u put them inside your mouth.

The end product.

Ingredients:
Few cloves of chopped garlic
Egg noodles (depends on how much you want to eat)
A handful of Shitake mushroom (cut them into strips)
Some cabbage and carrot (or any greens that you like)
Chicken strips (marinated with oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornflour, and pepper)

Steps:
1. Boil the noodles according to the instructions on the packet.
2. Stir fry the garlic till fragrant.
3. Add in chicken strips.
4. When the chicken is almost cooked, add in mushroom, cabbage and carrot.
5. Add in little bit of soya sauce and sprinkle some water to the pan.
6. Add in noodles.
7. Add in more seasoning : oyster sauce, sugar, salt, sesame oil, and pepper.

Weekend

I love weekend. Weekend normally means shopping and eating. I have longer weekend than normal people as I don't have class on Monday. Hee.. Weekend is the only time that I can spend more time with Spidy. Normally during weekdays he will straight go to bed after he comes back from work.

On Friday night, we went to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng @ IOI Mall. I seldom go there, but I just love the Popular bookstore at there. It's BIG!!!

Fried Udon with pork fillets and black pepper sauce. I love this. The taste is simply marvellous and the pork is marinated well. Yummy!!!

Chocolate Milkshake. The drink is packed with chocolate flavour and we like the chocolate sauce and nuts at the edge of the cup which we can use our tongues to lick it. Hee...

On Sunday afternoon, we went to Alamanda for groceries shopping. Went to McD for lunch. McD is my favourite place to eat as it is a place that will cheer me up the moment I step inside. Not sure why.

Spidy had the normal McChicken Set.

I had their new Cheeseburger Deluxe. It costs only RM3. Since it looks so nice on the menu, I decided to give it a try. But...

It was kind of disappointing though. The real burger was nothing like the one in the menu. However, it was a great bargain though. With RM3, you can get beef, cheese, tomato, and a lots of cabbage and onion strips. Not bad.

UNITE 2006

Last Friday (14th April 2006), we have our prom night (UNite 2006). It was held in Putrajaya International Conference Center (PICC). Although I am not in my final year (still have 6 months industrial training and 4 months studying to go), I still went. Many friends who are in the same batch as me (accounting students study for 5 years instead of 4, unlike other management students) are going to graduate soon.

Pictures time.... *jeng jeng jeng*

My gang. Happily taking pictures before the event started.

Spidy and me. He just wore his working shirt and pants to the night, no coat and no tie. -_-|||

Accounting classmates

Lots of negative comments have been given towards the night itself. Bad food, rude waiters and committees, bad event flow, bad speech given by the director, inappropriate theme for the night, attention was shifted to VVIP and VIPs instead of students, and etc etc. The Students Representative Council forum has been flooded with all these comments. Ya, I agree partly on the comments, but I still feel that it was such a fun night. I was at my prettiest, *beam* and took lots of pictures with friends. I feel that is enough already, at least for me.

Officially Broke & Dead

*Nokia Tune*

"Dear, I got a bad news for you."
"What?" *Try to sound very calm. Praying that it has nothing to do with my car."
"Your mirror broke already."
"Har? What mirror?"
"Your car's mirror."
"Wind shield is it?" *Cold sweats start to drop*
"Yaya!!!"

I am so freaking dead right now. Asked for the price for fixing the wind shield, it costs RM1200. It's freaking RM1200. OH SHIT!!! All those working shirts, new handbag, new furniture for new staying place and never ending shopping list have officially gone down to the drain.

I really don't know whether the bad luck is tailing my car or me? There are still two dents on the car which I haven't fixed.

The cause of that two dents:- I parked my car in appropriate parking place. Came back to the car few hours later, only to find out that it has been hit.

Urgh... Feel like want to jump down from the window. Will I survive after jumping down from 7th floor?

2006-01-08T01:20:00.000+08:00

It's 1:20a.m.

First finals paper will be on Monday. Management Consultancy. Urgh.. Tension is building up.

I can't get the facts inside my head. Knowing that most of the questions asked won't be coming from the textbook (thru experience from midterm), I am not willing to memorize.

I have groundnuts, Mentos (orange mint flavour), Ligo raisins (heard that it will make people smart), M&M, and coffee (third cup for today) on my table. I am all ready to burn midnight oil today. I will stop playing Neopets and have my eyes focused on the book.

Concentrate, MeiWah!!! Concentrate !!!

It's been a month since I last written. Paiseh. Nothing much to write actually. Have been preparing for the finals which will start next Monday. So, I will just write about the IVAQ which I went long time ago.

IVAQ, Inter Varsity Accounting Quiz, was organised by Accoounting Club, MMU Melaka. So being in the same Uni but different campus, Cyberjaya campus must give some support.

There were 2 teams (8 people) and 2 drivers going down to Melaka on that day. We started our journey at 6am. I was in the same car with Chan. He only slept for 2 hours that night, so good of him for bringing us there.

Here are the three beh paiseh people who volunteered to go for the competition. (Me, GahYoong and ChuiKheng)

We had breakfast before the competition. Here are the 8 representatives and the driver from Cyberjaya campus.

When I opened my quiz paper, I really regretted for volunteering myself. We were given 30 minutes only to answer 100 questions. I skipped all of the calculation questions, and answered most of the taxation and auditing questions.

One hour later, the teams that were able to get into the 2nd stage were announced. As predicted, both teams from Cyberjaya were not able to get in. Sia sui only. Hee..
So we went and took pictures around the campus. This is the library of Melaka campus, the most impressive building for MMU.

We did not stay in the campus for long. Instead we went to have the famous chicken ball rice and Baba cendol in Jonker Walk. Then we had a great time shopping there. Later in the day, we went to eat satay celup at Jalan Ong Kim Wee.

Nevertheless, it was a very good experience. I have a great time traveling around Melaka and recollecting back the old memories (I studied my foundation year in Melaka). Though we lost, I remember that I was smiling all the way when we were traveling back to Cyberjaya.

2005-12-06T15:06:00.001+08:00

I was reading 5xmom blog just now when somebody sent a message to me and said, "The Proffesional Ethics midterm is canceled!!!"

The test was originally scheduled on this Thursday, and it will probably be changed to next week.
This means that next week will be a packed week for me.

According to the lecturer, there is a huge possibility that the test will be on next Wed or Thurs.
Let's see,

next Friday, I will have my Company Law test
Saturday, going to Melaka for Inter Varsity Accounting Quiz (IVAQ)
the following Monday, Management Consultancy test

Everything is cramped in one single week.

My head is fulled with the Enron, Athur Andersen and WorldCom cases, which were supposed to be tested on the Professional Ethics test on this Thurs.

I think now I should just close the book and start studying other subjects.

Damnit, my teammatse and I still have not gotten any training for the coming IVAQ thingy. Hope we would not get ourselves embarrassed in front of all the genius from other universities.

Please give me enough strength to fight this battle.
